'No One Was Elected to Be Someone's Donkey': Oscar Sudi Launches Scathing Attack on Gladys Shollei

Kapseret MP Oscar Kipchumba Sudi has intensified the political debate in Uasin Gishu County after calling on residents not to re-elect Woman Representative Gladys Boss Shollei, accusing her of being absent from the people and engaging in unnecessary political confrontations.

Speaking during a public gathering, the outspoken legislator claimed that Shollei has been "missing in action" and has failed to adequately serve the residents who elected her to office.

According to Sudi, the Woman Representative only appears occasionally in public and spends much of her time criticizing and insulting other leaders instead of focusing on the development needs of the people.

The MP also referenced recent disputes involving county development issues, arguing that some matters being raised by national leaders fall squarely under the mandate of the county government. He urged leaders to respect the constitutional roles assigned to different offices and focus on delivering services to wananchi.

Sudi further took issue with what he described as attempts by some leaders to dictate political positions and decisions within the county, insisting that elected leaders should remain independent and accountable to voters rather than serving individual political interests.

"In this county, no one was elected to be someone's donkey," Sudi declared, drawing cheers from supporters who attended the event.

The remarks are the latest indication of growing political realignments in Uasin Gishu ahead of the next General Election. The county has recently witnessed increased political activity, with leaders positioning themselves and their allies for key elective seats.

Sudi's criticism of Shollei is expected to heighten political tensions in the county, where competition for elective positions is already beginning to take shape. His comments come at a time when various leaders are seeking to consolidate support bases and influence the direction of local politics.

Political observers say the public exchanges among Uasin Gishu leaders reflect the emerging battle for influence in one of the Rift Valley's most politically significant counties. As campaigns gradually gather momentum, residents are likely to witness more political rallies, endorsements, and sharp exchanges between rival camps.
